Airline Grounds New Year's Flights - (EDITORS: NOTE RADIO STATION CALL LETTERS) -- (SEATTLE) -- Alaska Airlines, which is based in Seattle, is reportedly canceling flights this New Year's Eve. But the carrier says it's NOT because of any Y-Two-K problems. K-N-W-X radio reports that airline officials say they are grounding flights between nine P-M December 31st and nine A-M January first because they can't completely book those flights. The airline insists its planes are Y-Two-K compliant and will be operating on a normal schedule after nine the morning of New Year's Day.

Right. This seems to be a world-wide problem...demand is VERY much down!

Hmmm...

Funny how demand is going down with the booming economy. And none of it is related to Y2k.
